The beauty
ambassadors were grouped to discuss on pet projects bordering on Health, Human
Rights & Environment, using their countries as case studies. The herculean
task which took 50% of the pageant’s mark charged them to proffer solutions to
the ongoing problems in their countries as regards the assigned topic. Nigeria’s
Victoria Antai who delivered a paper on Environment narrowly lost the 10,000
euro prize to Miss Bolivia who eventually won the crown after what looked like
a heroic presentation before a selected panel of jury.

Before the
grand finale, the girls had a tour of neighbouring towns of Puglia, day after
day. They visited each town where they were welcomed by Mayors of Santa Maria
di Leuca to Taranto where they saw the reforms of the Aragonese Castle, Ostuni
(city of white houses), Lecce with its gorgeous baroque structures, Gallipolli
famous for their oil production & finally what the girls saw as favourite,
Alberobello whose Trulli (houses) marked the symbol of their growth.

Health, Human Rights). Victoria shone like a million stars again as she placed
2nd in her category, Environment, but like they say there can only be
one winner.
